Hands down THE FINEST INDIAN YT VIDEO on tyres. A killer if not taken care of. My junior doctor died because his tyres burst in expressway. Thanks you two, God bless you two.
Good video indeed! My personal experience with tyres goes as follows My Hyundai i20 Asta 2009 model came OE with Apollo Acelere, maybe due to my heavy usage on concrete roads (especially on harsh concrete surface of Mumbai Pune expressway) and the 240Nm torque from CRDi mill the initial tyres gave away within 27k kms, I replaced it with GoodYear Assurance which although ran for 45k kms it did became very gritty after 30k kms and I hated using it especially on the expressways, I replaced it with Bridgestone B290 which till date is one of the best tyres I ever used, very low road noise, decent grip and good life too, I eeked out 50k+ kms from the set, so much so that I ended up consuming two more sets of the same tyres! Recently I changed the tyres yet again but since Bridgestone have discontinued the B290s I decided to go for Continental Ultra Contact UC6, have used it more than 15k+ kms as of now and response has been excellent, tyre noise and road holding are even better than B290s, a must try for sure. My dad's WagonR came OE with Apollo Amazer3G, which ran for 40k+ kms, I replaced it with Michelin Energy XM2, used it more than 45k+ kms and even though they were good to go for 10k kms more but I felt unstable (keeping in mind the already sloppy handling of the WagonR at the first place), replaced it with Bridgestone Turanza T005a(the same tyres which comes as OE in Honda Elevate, Toyota Camry, Lexus ES300H) and after 30k kms these are still good to go for 20k+ kms. My Tucson came OE with Nexen and one of them gave away early in its life due to manufacturing defect in 15k kms which Hyundai did honour and replaced it with Bridgestone Turanza T001 and as of now my car is still on its first set and covered 50k+ kms and are still good to go for another 10k+ kms. Adding some more points, as Munish Ji said the tread walls have an impact on sound levels and this is actually true, this phenomenon is known as HelmHoltz principle. Next yes the tyres' intrinsic strength is determined by the steel radials, this was explained by my dad( a metallurgist from IIT Kanpur) and said radials used in car tyres are one of the highest tensile strength steel used in industry. Those radial steel are quite strong have strength equivalent to earthquake resistant TMT bars, those are developed from extensive R&D which my dad was a part of way back when he was in service and was successful in designing one which he had subsequently patented(he has 15patents by the way) and many international journals quoted about his project widely. Although I understand what Mr Munish said that deeper grooves in tyres mean lesser rubber which is bad but I want to ask ain't those grooves and sipes are required to prevent aquaplaning? I don't think so F1 cars and MotoGP bikes don't have to face undulating surface with uneven aquaplaning whereas regular cars have to bear the brunt of poor roads, even airplanes have sipes and grooves to prevent aquaplaning. Also Mr Munish said only Michelin& Bridgestone provide tyres to commercial jets I disagree, I've been in AirbusA330 and Boeing777 jumbojet, and I observed them fitted with GoodYears and Dunlops too. Regarding air pressures, check the door jam for correct recommended pressures, and I guess its a class11 science lesson that as temperatures increase pressure increases too(Boyle's law). What matters is the pressure not air quantity, remember that. Regarding Tyre wear, you can check with Tread Wear Indicator and you can use a simple 1rupee coin to measure it when it is parallel to surface I guess it's time to change, other factors include whether it's driven on concrete roads or on higher temperatures during summers or winters and age of tyres which causes them to become brittle, my uncle a Polymer scientist at USA(he has a big hand in developing the special paint required for stealth military machines of US Army) explained me about brittling of polymers. Lastly regarding silica, apart from that what matters is the carbon chains, which should be long chain links and of course bonded with silica, Bridgestone uses NanoPro Tech a patented technology for linking carbon and silica and also using HelmHoltz principle to dial down noise levels in their premium Alenza,Potenza and Turanza series. Additionally Run Flat tyres have an extra steel reinforcement at the sidewalls which allows them to run even after they face an air loss, only downside is if driven in that state for too long, they get damaged beyond repair, also they're stiffer and harsher than tubeless, also you must've been knowing about US President's car, the Cadillac beast, that car comes fitted with special tyre(GoodYear) which can even run after being hit with bullets! Same technology is used by Michelin which is fitted in German Chancellor's Audi A8 Security. One more thing I would like to share is when Bugatti developed their Veyron there was no car tyre in existence that could hold up to the performance that Veyron had to offer with its ballistic W12 8.0L which would go well beyond 400kmph. VAG asked Michelin to develop tyres for the Veyron, at first Michelin outrightly rejected the request citing high R&D costs and low returns(meaning huge financial loss) as Veyron would be a niche product and only limited cars would be ever made and even less to be sold and therefore Michelin couldn't be able to recoup the costs, at that time the Veyron being almost completed and VAG pumping in billions of Euros into the project couldn't take a U Turn and nor get any tyres for their expenisive project to actually test out the car they made, was in a fix. Thus at that point then MD&CEO of VAG Sir Ferdinand Piech(grandson of Mr Ferdinand Porsche, founder of Porsche), the man behind cars like Phaeton and Touareg W12 said if Michelin won't make tyres for their Bugatti Veyron they would cancel all the tenders with Michelin being OE supplier for each of their cars (including VW,Skoda,Audi,Ducati etc), this meant a huge setback for Michelin and unwillingly they had to develop special tyres which costs a cool 42,000$ per set(almost 38Lakh rupees, yes just the tyres!!), IIRC they're almost of 370sections! Regarding asymmetric patterns, yes they do help in enhancing road holding and enhancing grip but the thing is it must be ensured these are fitted in the correct direction and one needs to keep an eye, also since they're asymmetric and due to their uneven tread pattern they pose a slight risk in wet as these may form aqauplaning channels whereas a symmetric pattern has grooves uniformly which ensures water film is drained to the sides and no aquaplaning occurs, thus I recommend and lean more towards symmetric tyre pattern for everyday cars. Sorry for the long post but I too felt I must share some insights from whatever little knowledge I have in this field. Thank you!

Incredibly informative video! It's content at its finest, focusing on the often underrated topic of car tyres. This RUclips channel has some serious potential. Keep the good work going, appreciate your efforts.
After switching multiple brands, settled with Michelin XM2+ series OEM size. Just one correction in T-Roc OEM size is 215/55 R17 instead of 50 side profile as you mentioned. In India below 1 crore price no car providing side profile of 50. They have width 245 or 255 to compensate 50 side profile. Side profile is in percentage. I prefer to have around 112-113 mm side profile for sedan hatchback & 118-119 mm for suv. 185/60 =111 195/55= 107.25 205/55= 112.75 215/55= 118.25 215/60= 129 (never given in german or honda cars) Germans and Japanese companies maintaining this side profile in their all cars.
One thing that irritates me the most is people with positive or negative camber driving their cars at triple digit speeds on expressways. those cars are meant to be show cars only. Either keep them on the track or keep them in your garage.
A small amount of negative camber makes sense for easier turn-in. Refer to Prof. Andrew Marziali’s talk _The Physics of Racing_ for details. BTW if you know what camber is, you probably don't need to watch this video 😅
Great knowledge by Munish Ji. Need similar videos on all aspects of automobiles like suspensions, brake disc, brake pads etc. Keep more videos coming Paaji😊
I strongly believe that bad tyres (or tyres in bad condition) have a higher chance of killing you than lack of safety features and poor build quality of the car. I am really happy to find this video. One of the best I have seen on this topic.
Really educative video, leaned a lot of new things. I would like to request to make a video on after how many kms should we recheck our wheel alignment and wheel balancing. And how to maintain/take care of spare tyre.
Thank you for the detailed tyre knowledge sharing. For Skoda Kushaq 16R tyres… company recommendation for fully loaded vehicle is 41 front and 48 rear. This is too high I think but at the same time should I doubt recommended pressure by the company. I am very confused with the same, kindly put some light on the same . I think Skoda should intervene and make amendments. This pressure is mentioned on the sticker that is provided near driver side of the Kushaq.
Tyre pressure depends on the width of the tyres and the weight of the car. Idk about the width of tyres in kushaq but it’s a fairly heavy car especially the 1.5 variant. Weight and tyre pressure are directly proportional and tyre width and pressure are inversely proportional. All I can say is follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
After a quick google search I got to know that the recommended tyre pressure for kushaq is only 33 psi. The recommended pressure for full load is 38 for front and 46 for rear. As I said, more the weight, more the pressure required.
@@danbruh33 Agreed, however the tyre pressure mentioned for fully loaded Kushaq is 41 psi front and 48 rear on the tyre pressure sticker near the drivers door. It is company recommended, however seems bit on a higher side :)
I guess you can go for Pirelli Cinturato or Vredestein’s and avoid Yokohama as they have weak sidewalks.. If Michelin’s are available then they are the industry best😀
great video, brother.. I am planning a tyre upgrade for my Seltos.I want a good ride, less noise. Torn between Michelin energy xm2+ and primacy 4. Whats the prime difference between these two as both are retailing around the same price...thanks a lot
Great video... Very informative, all misconceptions gone.... I am also a victim of going by a tire shop guys advice and next time when i went, they asked me which fool advised me to go with the tyre they sold me a couple of months ago....😅
fantastic information to say the least. it was eye opening to watch and understand. i have changed my mind about the tyres i was going to replace with.
Today I bought new tyres for my Škoda Superb. Till now i was driving my car with stock tires which was apollo Aspire 4G with the tyre size 215/55 R17, Who satisfied me. I drove 42000 km with Apollo. I have purchased Continental Ultracontact UC6 with 2 years unconditional warranty. I wanted to buy Michelin tyres, but because they did not come with unconditional warranty, I had to buy Continental tyres. My other vehicle which is MG ZS EV also has Continental tyres of same size i.e. 215/55 R17. To me, that car gives very good handling but the body size of superb is different, so I put new tyre on it and see the handling. After that i will share my experience
Thankyou for such informative video. I am planning to change my tata nexon xm 2020 model tyres. Stock comes with 195/60 R16 and the top model zx+ comes with 215/60 R16. Can I upgrade my tyres to that of top model? Also can you suggest me if Yokohama earth 1 is ideal choice?
Great informative video… there are lot of things which needs more clarity for the benefit of people at large . All Car tyres have TWI (tread wear indicator)marked at six equidistant locations on tyres at tyre shoulder region. The height of the TWI bar is 1.6 mm this is as per CMVR ( central motor vehicle rules). So whenever tyre grooves are worn up to TWI it is time to change to new tyres. ITTAC (Indian tyre Technical advisory committee) specify all the design specifications for all tyres manufactured in India. Can share more specific information if required
Thank you for the insightful video; your efforts are truly appreciated. As a passionate Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in the automotive industry, I resonate with the information shared. Nonetheless, I observed a slight disconnection in the structure and flow of content. I kindly suggest incorporating a more organized approach to the video's content flow, acknowledging that the absence of a script may have contributed to this. Once again, thank you for your valuable insights.
Hello sir I have Maruti brezza which tyre size 215/60 R16 from company fitting. Now I want to change my all tyres And I selected 215/65 R16 Yokohama geolander A/T. Should I go which I select or I will go as per company recommend. Reason for changing the size because only Yokohama geolander is only series which coming in A/T. Please recommend your view.
Bro good review but you would have shown the tyre width , radius and side wall with proper inch tape or Vernier calibre like Engineers. It would have given good understanding
Perfect time you have uploaded the video. I'm about to change the stock tyres of my Polo which was purchased in July 2020 and have clocked 30K on odo. I, being a Tata Motors employee (OEM) have understood from a colleague that stick to OEM certified tyre (brand and size) Reason being is those are tested rigorously before SOB (Supplier On Board) My Polo has came with Goodyear Assurance (195/55 R16) and am planning to stick to the same. What are your views/thoughts?
Very informative video. One thing that I would like to add more is that in India go for brands which give you the maximum warranty. Tyres come with two types of warranty which are- warranty for manufacturing defects and warranty against impacts like cuts/ buldges'. Continentals, Yokohama and Goodyear give warranty from 1-5 years on tyres on external impacts as well whereas Michelins come with only manufacturing defect warranty. Even if a bulge is formed due lo external import because of the warranty one can get the tyre replaced on a pro-rata and in India if your tyre has a lower side profile go for tyres like Yokohama Earth, Bridgestone Sturdo or Goodyear Max Guard.
@@AdityaSharma-lv8im UC 6 are also very good tyres they are a perfect balance between a hard and soft compound tyre and plus Continental is also offering a 3 Year warranty nowadays.
Can you explain the base variants of Innova (both Hycross and Crysta) giving just 16 inchers ?? Don't you think it's just cost cutting in this case for such a big car? The tyre profile is also smaller

I have a Skoda Slavia 1.0 AT with CEAT tyres installed. The total mileage so far is 45,000 km. I need to replace two of the rear tyres, as one of them has some minor cuts. Could you recommend a suitable replacement tyre brand? Also, if you could provide an approximate price range, it would help me avoid being overcharged.

As a person he doesn't like leading a luxurious life and is happy in living a basic lifestyle which requires nothing more than essential stuff, do you know as recent as last year he was still using his 2006 HP i3 Laptop which I had to forcefully replace with a 2023MacBook Air! For the first 20years of his service life he used a Chetak scooter and upon us forcing to get him a car citing safety got a MS800 way back in 1999 and finally near his retirement got a 2010 WagonR which he loves it like his 3rd son and it's my duty to keep his car in top shape.
Whatever I and my elder brother(a businessman along with my maternal uncle and owning cars like Merc GLS450d) are coz of the best of education we recieved only coz dad sacrificed his own pleasures for our future. So I think it's better not to comment on anybody and their choices randomly and making a judgement as more often than not we never know the entire story! Thanks and cheers!
Really a goldmine for enthusiasts.. Thanx for the effort guys
This man has immense knowledge…the most genuine auto channel..keep up the good work❤
This man has half knowledge and no knowledge of tyre construction. Pls avoid such rumours
@@alokdesai4388 so where is the right info ?
Incredibly informative video! It's content at its finest, focusing on the often underrated topic of car tyres. This RUclips channel has some serious potential. Keep the good work going, appreciate your efforts.
Loved the fact explanation why tyres have assymetrical pattern. Another added point is we have greater traction while turning on high speeds.
I am confused about which one is good Asymmetrical or symmetrical?
@@Garry6290asymmetric
That's why rally cars have assymetry tyres
Thanks!
Bro 👊 🙏🙏🙏🙏
the only video on internet you need to watch for tyre selection. thank you to both participants. 🙌🙏
After switching multiple brands, settled with Michelin XM2+ series OEM size.
Just one correction in T-Roc OEM size is 215/55 R17 instead of 50 side profile as you mentioned. In India below 1 crore price no car providing side profile of 50.
They have width 245 or 255 to compensate 50 side profile.
Side profile is in percentage. I prefer to have around 112-113 mm side profile for sedan hatchback & 118-119 mm for suv.
185/60 =111
195/55= 107.25
205/55= 112.75
215/55= 118.25
215/60= 129 (never given in german or honda cars)
Germans and Japanese companies maintaining this side profile in their all cars.
One thing that irritates me the most is people with positive or negative camber driving their cars at triple digit speeds on expressways. those cars are meant to be show cars only. Either keep them on the track or keep them in your garage.
Some older sports car do come with negative camber though..
A small amount of negative camber makes sense for easier turn-in. Refer to Prof. Andrew Marziali’s talk _The Physics of Racing_ for details.
BTW if you know what camber is, you probably don't need to watch this video 😅
Watching the video for 3rd time. Amazing information before I change my car tyres.
Best DUO in automobile Industry 🚗.❤
Phenomenal insights on tyres that we were knew. How noise and triple ply is given to give best results
What is the affect of using lower size spare wheel in the front or rear for longer than the recommendation
These are space saver tyres. Obviously not to cruise for long generally…. Its maximum permissible limit is 80kmph
Wonderful information shared... not many people go in such depth.. awesome job done 👌👌
Great knowledge by Munish Ji. Need similar videos on all aspects of automobiles like suspensions, brake disc, brake pads etc. Keep more videos coming Paaji😊
बहुत ज्यादा knowledge मिली. आज दोबारा देखी ये video
THANKS A LOT BOTH OF YOU !! HOW ILLITERATE I WAS ABOUT THE CAR TYRES, ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY INFORMATIVE VIDIO !! REGARDS !!
By far the best technical information on tyres based on Indian roads condition. Thank you for this informative video. One subscriber ❤
Best video I saw about the basics of tyres. Learned a lot.
I strongly believe that bad tyres (or tyres in bad condition) have a higher chance of killing you than lack of safety features and poor build quality of the car. I am really happy to find this video. One of the best I have seen on this topic.
Really educative video, leaned a lot of new things. I would like to request to make a video on after how many kms should we recheck our wheel alignment and wheel balancing. And how to maintain/take care of spare tyre.
This man is a powerhouse of knowledge!!!
Thank you for the detailed tyre knowledge sharing. For Skoda Kushaq 16R tyres… company recommendation for fully loaded vehicle is 41 front and 48 rear. This is too high I think but at the same time should I doubt recommended pressure by the company. I am very confused with the same, kindly put some light on the same . I think Skoda should intervene and make amendments. This pressure is mentioned on the sticker that is provided near driver side of the Kushaq.
Tyre pressure depends on the width of the tyres and the weight of the car. Idk about the width of tyres in kushaq but it’s a fairly heavy car especially the 1.5 variant. Weight and tyre pressure are directly proportional and tyre width and pressure are inversely proportional. All I can say is follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
After a quick google search I got to know that the recommended tyre pressure for kushaq is only 33 psi. The recommended pressure for full load is 38 for front and 46 for rear. As I said, more the weight, more the pressure required.
Btw you can cross check the pressure for your variant as these pressures are pulled off the internet which could be false.
@@danbruh33 Agreed, however the tyre pressure mentioned for fully loaded Kushaq is 41 psi front and 48 rear on the tyre pressure sticker near the drivers door. It is company recommended, however seems bit on a higher side :)
What a great insights, gem of a person.
In-depth knowledge and way of sharing it is excellent 🔥🙏
Nice info, he knows what he is talking about. Can trust his knowledge.
Thanks
Thanks ❤️
For Virtus/Slavia best tyre in the market is MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4 205/55R16 94W XL L
I am running the same tyre on my Jetta Tdi and man what to say about these tyres…
Are these tyres still available in India now..!??
For kushaq?
@@harshdeep8814
Michelin Primacy 4 ST 205/60 R16 92V for front
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 205/55 R16 94 XL L for rear
I guess you can go for Pirelli Cinturato or Vredestein’s and avoid Yokohama as they have weak sidewalks.. If Michelin’s are available then they are the industry best😀
Does Michelin Pilot Sport come in R16
Very informative, thanks to both of you. Sir gave his best to explain each and everything. Loved this video, gave me lot of knowledge.

great video, brother.. I am planning a tyre upgrade for my Seltos.I want a good ride, less noise. Torn between Michelin energy xm2+ and primacy 4. Whats the prime difference between these two as both are retailing around the same price...thanks a lot
Hi Sundardeep,
My self Jaydip, having a vento TDI Hiline plus for last 7 years, want to exchang with Tiguan Elegance,
Your guidance
Any comments on continental tyres? I really like it in my Octavia. Now planning for a replacement.
Great video... Very informative, all misconceptions gone.... I am also a victim of going by a tire shop guys advice and next time when i went, they asked me which fool advised me to go with the tyre they sold me a couple of months ago....😅
K10 2015 keh liye kon seh tyre or allow best rahegeh 13 inch tyre hai
Such valuable information on Tyres. Nobody ever told. Thank you very much.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sir. You have delivered very good knowledge, those I have been not following till date.Now onwards I'll follow.
I am facing some problems with Skoda Superb 2012 model, Petrol Manual. Want to reach out and know where I can get help in Mumbai
What is your opinion about Continental tyres?
Best in the market, I have installed on my Renault Captur 21560R17 LX2 series and the performance is mind boggling
fantastic information to say the least. it was eye opening to watch and understand. i have changed my mind about the tyres i was going to replace with.
Today I bought new tyres for my Škoda Superb. Till now i was driving my car with stock tires which was apollo Aspire 4G with the tyre size 215/55 R17, Who satisfied me. I drove 42000 km with Apollo. I have purchased Continental Ultracontact UC6 with 2 years unconditional warranty. I wanted to buy Michelin tyres, but because they did not come with unconditional warranty, I had to buy Continental tyres.
My other vehicle which is MG ZS EV also has Continental tyres of same size i.e. 215/55 R17. To me, that car gives very good handling but the body size of superb is different, so I put new tyre on it and see the handling. After that i will share my experience
Thankyou for such informative video. I am planning to change my tata nexon xm 2020 model tyres. Stock comes with 195/60 R16 and the top model zx+ comes with 215/60 R16. Can I upgrade my tyres to that of top model? Also can you suggest me if Yokohama earth 1 is ideal choice?
Great informative video… there are lot of things which needs more clarity for the benefit of people at large . All Car tyres have TWI (tread wear indicator)marked at six equidistant locations on tyres at tyre shoulder region. The height of the TWI bar is 1.6 mm this is as per CMVR ( central motor vehicle rules). So whenever tyre grooves are worn up to TWI it is time to change to new tyres. ITTAC (Indian tyre Technical advisory committee) specify all the design specifications for all tyres manufactured in India. Can share more specific information if required
What about continental UC 6 tyre?
Paji - My 2017 Elantra still runs of OEM Hankook tyre and has clocked close to 60,000 kms, when should i go for a change.
Very very informative......gazab gyaan. Sunder and munish keep it up.....pyaare banda ho tusi dono.
You have made us understand in detail about Tyres... Wonderful.
Thank you for the insightful video; your efforts are truly appreciated. As a passionate Mechanical Engineer with extensive experience in the automotive industry, I resonate with the information shared. Nonetheless, I observed a slight disconnection in the structure and flow of content. I kindly suggest incorporating a more organized approach to the video's content flow, acknowledging that the absence of a script may have contributed to this. Once again, thank you for your valuable insights.
I loved the knowledge imparted in this video ❤❤
Perfect podcast topic
Very much good informative video.
This is very much easy understanding as well.
A must watch for all automobile enthusiasts.
Best Video on Tyres I have seen on RUclips.
Vento main konsa tyre badhiya rahengaa
195/55 R16 Best tyre brand you can suggest ? Monthly running is 200km only
Is there a frequent puncture and side wall damaging issue with the Michelin 4ST ?
⭐ Brilliant content. Never came across such a reel on tyres! Thanks and All the Best!
I have never seen a better one than this.Highly appreciate.Thanks.a lot.❤😊
Hello sir I have Maruti brezza which tyre size 215/60 R16 from company fitting.
Now I want to change my all tyres
And I selected 215/65 R16 Yokohama geolander A/T.
Should I go which I select or I will go as per company recommend.
Reason for changing the size because only Yokohama geolander is only series which coming in A/T.
Please recommend your view.
please suggest best tyres for Taigun to compensate the stiff suspension.
Sir Bridgestone dueler at 002 vs michelin Ltx force and Yokohama geolander main konsa best hoga for 265/65 R17 Pajero sport
Sir, what do you suggest for Kushaq 1.5 AT Ambition
Verna mein 195/55/16 tyre hai, use best upgrade kaunsa rahega? 195/60/16 or 25/60/16 ya phir company size hi theek hai?
Bro good review but you would have shown the tyre width , radius and side wall with proper inch tape or Vernier calibre like Engineers. It would have given good understanding
This person has discussed it quite well in technical terms
This is best video on tyres. Thank you so much. You both can make documentary series on Discovery/NG
Perfect time you have uploaded the video. I'm about to change the stock tyres of my Polo which was purchased in July 2020 and have clocked 30K on odo.
I, being a Tata Motors employee (OEM) have understood from a colleague that stick to OEM certified tyre (brand and size)
Reason being is those are tested rigorously before SOB (Supplier On Board)
My Polo has came with Goodyear Assurance (195/55 R16) and am planning to stick to the same.
What are your views/thoughts?
You can keep the size same but prefer Yokohama Earth 1 please
For verna sx o model 2022 which tyre is best
Please recommend a tyre for the Innova Crysta ?
I have purchased Virtus Highline two months back. I have found rusting spot on rear bumper. Please guide me
any suggestion for jeep compass 2.0 Diesel 2017? Car came with 215 tyre. Please suggest
Can I install 245/60/r17 all terrain Bridgestone dueler tyre as stock tyres in my Scorpio n 245/65/r17
Very informative video. One thing that I would like to add more is that in India go for brands which give you the maximum warranty. Tyres come with two types of warranty which are- warranty for manufacturing defects and warranty against impacts like cuts/ buldges'. Continentals, Yokohama and Goodyear give warranty from 1-5 years on tyres on external impacts as well whereas Michelins come with only manufacturing defect warranty. Even if a bulge is formed due lo external import because of the warranty one can get the tyre replaced on a pro-rata and in India if your tyre has a lower side profile go for tyres like Yokohama Earth, Bridgestone Sturdo or Goodyear Max Guard.
what about continental uc6
@@AdityaSharma-lv8im UC 6 are also very good tyres they are a perfect balance between a hard and soft compound tyre and plus Continental is also offering a 3 Year warranty nowadays.
Continental is also a premium tyre manufacturer......do they use enough silica like the brands you guys mentioned......? Also what about good year....
Most underrated tyre info video.
Can you explain the base variants of Innova (both Hycross and Crysta) giving just 16 inchers ??
Don't you think it's just cost cutting in this case for such a big car? The tyre profile is also smaller
And you said more PSi in the rear tyres.. I have read somewhere that for FWD front should be more than rear
Can you explain why you said more in rear?
Hats off to this person's knowledge, thank you so much for this video

I have a Skoda Slavia 1.0 AT with CEAT tyres installed. The total mileage so far is 45,000 km. I need to replace two of the rear tyres, as one of them has some minor cuts. Could you recommend a suitable replacement tyre brand? Also, if you could provide an approximate price range, it would help me avoid being overcharged.
